Why is Fox News on-the-whole ignoring Fred Thompson?
Are people in the news so process-happy that you cannot look beyond conventional wisdom? Chris Wallace did not give equal time to every candidate at the forum, meaning Thompson.

And then in your analysis, the discussion often ignores Fred Thompson. He makes excellent points, has a lot of substance and very effectively shines the spotlight on the other candidates’ non-Conservative positions.

I want to hear more about Fred because he is in my opinion the only true conservative in the bunch.

He might have a long shot at present, but his momentum is forward. You can at least keep him in play in your analysis until we see what happens in super-Tuesday in February.

Thanks.

some straight talk on procurement from AirForce Magazine September 07 “The F-22 Learning Curve” and “Wanted Sraight C-17 Answers” and December 07 ” The High Price of Competition”
“It was rumored that the Air Force was considering dropping the one-winer plan,partly as a way to avoid a lengthy and costly PROTEST of the big ticket program. The service urgently needs to get new tankers to replace its 50-year old KC-135Es and cant tolerate any further delay. A split buy would probably innoculate the program from a protest.” “protest of the KC-X could conceivaibly delay progress three years.” a decision on the manufacturer Boeing or Northrop grumman EADS(European Aeronautic Defense and Space)has yet to be made announcement is expected to be made in January.

as for the C-17 (Kennedy,McCain and Carper) in a July letter “Thier interst was piqued by Boeings recent decision to keep the C-17 line open- with Boeings own funds_ despite the absence of any further orders or Air Force Requirements. Kenedy McCain and Carper however, asked Defence Secretary Robert M Gates weather The USAF somehow “induced” Boeing to take this action. They said it would be “inapproriate especially if it exposes taxpayers to liability in the event that Congress declines to purchase additional C-17 aircraft” the Air Force WILL NEED 35 airlifters to haul an expanded Army and Marine Corps and thier gear.The Air Force only has funds from “ancient” C-5 re-engining and structural upgrade funding. In response the three Senators said”As far as we know (Boeings)statements as reported by the press, are inaccurate. Finally the lawmakers wanted to know what the airforce would cut out of its own budget to pay for any new airlifters.” (they want the USAF to fight the “War on Terror” on the Cheap?or in ancient reengineered C-5s. on Congresses timetable with no tankers. sad, do they even know whay the SU-47 Berkut is? hint its USSR and its a plane).

Credibility is THE issue; The Change we want is to believe our political leaders.

Our political leader’s utter loss of credibility makes the solution to most of America’s toughest problems unreachable. When most anyone in power speaks you just can’t believe them. Over and over they parse words. The reason everyone is turning on Mitt is not the religion or even just the flipping, it’s because he lacks credibility across the board. Obama is winning because he is more credible than the Clintons. He can’t beat Obama because Obama is more credible hands down. If somehow he could beat any Democrat, I simply can’t stand the idea or another 4 years of dishonesty. America can’t stand this. Our world wide prestige took a huge hit from this when with the events of 9/11 we should have had a bank of goodwill. It was simply because of credibility. Mitt simply is not authentic.

Mitt is fabricated. Last night he even said he never claimed that McCain wanted Amnesty. Does he think we are suckers? Do you think he will get more honest once elected? John McCain and the other are authentic. What separates McCain from the others is experience and a demonstration of courage under fire.

NH won’t be bought. Return credibility to our government. Vote McCain with me on January 8th.

Fox did everything they can do to prop up Willard. This is bad for Republicans and wont get them in the Whitehouse.

The questions setup Mitt to dominate and gave him a pass on all his credibility issues. Mitt will not become more honest when elected.

I am one NH Independent voting McCain and I will work to bring everyone I know. We need McCain for America more than the Republican establishment needs to control the party by promoting someone with no content.

Fox is definetly not helping Thompson out that is for sure…But I believe the public is fickle and Huckleberry will have his Jimmy Carter/Howard dean moment and Thompson will be there to pick up his supporters…And when Mitt gets 3rd in NH we will take his supporters too. Consitent Conserative. http://www.Fred08.com

I have a question for any of the candidates. Would any of the candidates support the suspension of congressional medial benefits until they reach a suitable solution for their constituents? I think this would help motivate both sides to find a solution when they too are faced with the same problems.

Thanks,

I agree Mike Wallce did not give equal time to Fred Thompson. However, when he made his points he made them well. I thought Romney did well ann handled the negativity of both Huckabee & McCain well. Huckabee was defensive as was Mc Cain. Huckabee spoke out of both sides of his mouth on taxes. He said he lowered taxes and then he had to admit he raised taxes, but boy howdy, did he run around the block to say it all! McCain & Huckabee need to learn how to make their points without personal attacks. I do not like the personal attacks by Huckabee & McCain. Somehow they are unable to just explain what they believe & how they will accomplish what is best for America without doing personal attacks. That doesn’t look Presidential & it will hurt in the final Primaries. The one who can stay away from personal attacks is going to come out on top. It happened like that in South Dakota in the governor’s race. Governor Rounds won due to the personal atacks carried out by the 2 other candidates running agianst each other. Their attacks can turn against them easily with so much time before “Super Tuesday”. I have not decided who I am going to support in the Primaries. I am listening. I am watching. I want someone who can lead, can take the “heat” and can stay with his beliefs and do what is necessary for America. I do not appreciate Huckabee’s & McCain’s tactics. .

Campaign Carl, great job out there. Thank you. It is McCain’s turn. The next hurdle, if he grabs some Independents tomorrow, will be grabbing GOP stalwarts in SC given that the Independents don’t play a factor there.

Do you suspect that the Bloomberg rumbles from OK today are shots across McCain’s bow?

Can someone please help me understand this. Yesterday mitt was at 14.4 national everage. After the debate his national average dipped to 12.7 percent. He won the debate by a landslide! Can someone please explain this to me? McCain and the huck lost the debate bigtime and there ratings shot up? Can some one give me some insight? Normally if someone wins a debate ratings boost ant decrease

thanks

Why did mitts national average go down considering he won last nights debate hands down last night. And the losers ratings shot up? mcCian and huckabee?

thanks

Its McCain’s Turn???? That sounds just like the ‘Year of Dole’….when my Republican party ’settled’ on a guy they view was ‘owed’ the nomination. Based on the turns outs I have seen with Obama, if he’s the Dems guy, that McCain will get whacked just as Dole did. You look at how Obama is doing against a career Washington canidate. Do you think anything would change with a career senator like McCain?? Mitt Romney gives the BEST chance of Republican victory. He’s outside Washington and he is the ONLY republican canidate that can unite both social and fiscal conservatives. I would argue that McCain and Huckabee are the two most liberal (fiscal) canidates of all the Republicans. Huckabee is not viable Nationally, which would be a reversal of our Republicans having the Dukas to run. I am encouraged that, although Mitt may finish a close 2nd in NH, that he pretty much leads everywhere in my state of Michigan. I have seen on Fox where Dick Morris calls for a McCain Michigan victory. This will not happen, because of two things. McCain’s immigration record and taxes (voting against Bush cut). Voters in Michigan are down right angry with current Governor. Who was a career politician and who during Nov. campaigns said would not raise taxes, even though all her plans pointed out by competitor Devos showed she would have too……….guess what she just did. This resulted in a groups exploring recalling Governor and some house memembers. With our state economy in shambles, one taxs record will be huge. Mitt has won Wyomming and will win Michigan. Both Huckabee or McCain just don’t have wear with all to stay in for long time. Which this primary appears to be a long protracted one.

Hopefully Mac is Back. The country needs him at this time. Terrorism is our biggest threat. Romney talks too much and I beleive he is not right for our times

Mac is the one for our country at this time. Terrorism is the biggest threat. Romney talks too much about himself.

Romney turned the Salt Lake City Olympics around from a looming disaster to a money-making enterprise. He was elected and served admirably as a conservative governor in a liberal state. And he was so good as a leader in the corporate world that he earned a personal fortune of about 250 million dollars. That’s real good!

How did Romney do that? Most likely by surrounding himself with qualified experienced experts to provide him with information from many differing points of view.

And then he applied his own unique ability to consistently sort through that data and make executive decisions that proved to be correct time after time…

It’s possible that McCain could serve as one of those experienced advisors on foreign policy affairs, he claims to be an expert. But he seems to be so impressed with his own record of living from the public purse all his life that it’s possible he wouldn’t rally around his president – he’s known to be a maverick.

When informed Americans think of McCain they’ll probably always remember the destructive McCain-Feingold act, and of course McCain’s alliance with Kennedy and the Democrats to push the highly unpopular failed immigration bill.

A patriot, yes. In tune with what’s best for America? He may think he is. Concerned about what the American people say they really want their federal servants to do for them – such as seal the borders? Well, I’ll let the reader answer that one.

But make the right executive decisions to best benefit the American people as a whole? Where’s McCain’s record of consistently correct executive decision making? That’s what being president is all about.

I think we’re very fortunate to have such a proven man as Mitt Romney willing to again run for public office. In my estimate he stands head and shoulders over all the other would-be leaders of the free world. And he’s a family man with the value’s good-living Americans cherish.

It is my hope that voters will see through McCain and Clinton’s frantic attempts to sway them to the notion that it’s time to let an “experienced” foreign policy “expert”, or the “experienced” spouse of a former president become the USA’s ultimate decision-maker.

Shouldn’t it be illegal for a former president to in effect serve more than two terms? I can picture Bill hovering over every decision Hillary would make as president.

And also perhaps trying to clean up his own dubious legacy while he again gets to look over the shoulders of people in high places. Any more legacy-busting documents hiding in White House closets?

Yes, McCain’s a war hero, and yes he happened to have been captured by the enemy during a time of war, and survived until rescued by other heroes. That’s admirable. I’m grateful for the tens of thousands of American war heroes, I couldn’t be writing this if they had not served.

But being a war hero or a self-styled “legend” doesn’t necessarily qualify anyone to be president of the United States of America – though it could help with name recognition and perceived competence.

Where are McCain and Clinton’s REAL WORLD proven qualifications to be the ultimate decision maker for hundreds of millions of people?

Romney’s got them…

McCain will BEGIN his presidency at the age of 72. After his first term, he will be 76. Another 4 years, 80 years old!! Do we really want a candidate that can’t go the distance? Even McCain acknowledged in the debate last night, that only committing to a 1 term presidency is crazy—quack, quack—a lame duck from the start. There is NO WAY America will vote for an 80 year old president with a one dimensional resume (war-hero). Going against a young, vibrant Obama—McCain would be (old) toast. Romney is the only candidate to have the intelligence and youthful appeal that can compete and win when up against Obama. After last night’s debate— that was absolutely obvious.

I thought McCain’s cutsie barbs he threw at Romney in the debate were unfair (“..he’s the true Candidate of Change” and “…you can spend your entire fortune on negative ads but it doesn’t make them true…”). AS FOR CHANGING POSITIONS: Romney (and any politician) should be allowed to change positions based on learnings, maturity, listening to constituencies, etc.). Example: McCain has changed his position on immigration from his original sponsorship of the bill with Kennedy that did NOT secure the borders first. AS FOR MITT’S WEALTH: Mitt EARNED it and one advantage of it is that he is not ever going to be beholding to special interest money. McCain, prior to New Hampshire, demonstrated how he could mis-manage his campaign and its finances: not exactly demonstrative of any leadership or managerial abilities. McCain is a true national hero, but he really lowered his stature when he so obviously went out of his way to throw negatives at Mitt about issues in which he is not completely innocent. McCain could have adequately communicated his views without doing that. Also, I thought Mitt showed unbelievable courtesy and restraint in responding.

I am amazed that McCain is getting so much support in NH. I am an conservative Arizonan that supported McCain in 2000, but I would never support him now. There are so many conservative issues that JM has voted against in congress–i.e. marriage ammendment. I can’t tell you a single friend in JM’s home state that currently supports him. I will be surprised if McCain wins his own state. I think Mitt is the one that will actually get the job done in Washington. If you look at what he has done in his home state, how can you not support him. Mitt has a lot more support in his own democratic state than John McCain has in Arizona.

berkut,

I sympathize with the Air Force and the way it has been required to maintain a high op-tempo for a long period, with the same old equipment. I watched them do great work in Iraq at Tallil, Balad, and BIAP, and bailed out of more than one C-130, C-141, etc. over the years. In other words, I sympathize with the USAF. I recently had the discussion about the tankers with a friend who is a current USAF officer.

McCain is one of the few politicians with the guts to challenge the “insider trading” that goes on between senior military officers and the mega-corporations they want to work for when they retire. People said McCain wasn’t “supporting the military” when he first challenged Rumsfeld, and it turns out McCain was right–I saw ample evidence of that in Iraq, on the ground AND in the air when the supply routes were being hit so hard by the insurgency (Rumsfeld’s so-called “dead-dnders”) that the aviation assets couldn’t get fuel to fly all their support missions. So, I guess when I hear “senior Pentagon officials” cry because their pet project has been put on hold, I take it with a grain of salt. McCain has proven himself to be a supporter of the military long enough and thoroughly enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt. Just because there is a Democrat supporting him on an issue doesn’t mean he is wrong.

Still–you make an excellent point about the ignorance of most of the candidates when it comes to national security–most of them know nothing about it. Sadly, the bloody price of their ignorance and indifference is never paid by them or their kids, but by us and ours.

FOX and Carl are puffing up Huckabee and McCain, the two most liberal men running, and doing every thing the can to degrade Romney and Thompson. What gives FOX?

Eloquence and silver-tongued “feel good” rhetoric do not equate to effectiveness. When will Obama’s gushing supporters come to their senses and realize that their candidate is an untried individual who offers little more than a naive “Robin Hood” health plan?

Why does McCain dislike Romney so much? His dislike of him is so evident. McCain does not look or act presidential. I havent decided who I will vote for yet. But I have decided who I will not vote for (McCain). I disagree with his position on illegal immigration, campaign finance reform, Bush’s tax cuts. If he is the nominee I will sit this one out. He is not a conservative. I am leaning to Romney or Thompson.

I’m more concerned about FOX’s coverage since Romney & Hillary’s defeat in Iowa. Is it just me or have Fox reporters & pundits been hammering away at Huckabee, Obama & McCain in an attempt to revive Romney’s campaign? I realize a race without Hillary might cause a reduction in ratings, but give me a break.

I also question Frank Luntz’ so-call “focus group” last night. I found it extremely suspicious that the vast majority of the undecideds in attendance were so enthusiastically willing to raise there hands in favor of Romney. I watched the debate and Romney in no way dominated it to the extent Luntz’ group indicated. Who are these people? How were they selected? Hmmm

Lastly, FOX please stick to reporting the news and stop trying to create it. The likes of O’Reilly showing up to instigate a scuffle and the other obvious bias in reporting causes you to stray far from being “fair & balanced.”

Vote BOB DOLE! oops I mean John McCain! Let’s put the 72 year old up as the Republican Party Standard! The party will fast become a relic if we vote for one.

Carl, I am so dissappointed in you and your reporting. You are no better than CNN pushing the Democrats. I have gotten to the point where I change channels when you and your fellow Media Fox people are bashing or not reporting Mitt Romney’s presidential attributes, he was great in the Sunday Evening Forum. How can you say that he is “washed up” when he is running a solid second in both Iowa and maybe a first in NH. Polls can be skewed, you know it and I know it. Religion should not have anything to do with Huckabees campaign or Mitt Romney’s. Pat in CA

Can some one explain to me why all the coverage continues to be on McCain when he clearly lost the debate last night by Mitt Romney? Seriously, the test group of independents all believe Romney won the debate, but all the headlines say McCain? Where all the newsreporters asleep during the debate last night? Romney clearly was more Presidental, focused his attacks on Huckabee and McCain, and took control of the debate. How can his polls be going down? The answer is that foxnews as decided that they would prefer McCain to win in NH. So when people that did not watch the debates see headlines promoting how well McCain did, that motivates people to move towards McCain. Many people accept everything that is said as truth if it is reported on FOX News. Clearly Foxnews was not fair or balanced with their review of the debates! Romney has withstood attack after attack and for that his continues to move forward with the most delegates. Yet, foxnews joins the band wagon that if he loses to McCain he is out of the race. What about bunch of nonsense! Next Tuesday is Michigans Primary and both myself and my wife are voting for Mr. Romney along with several others. Romney is still in this race and it scares many people with fixed agendas. Romney is the real deal here. GO Romney!!!

The good thing about backing McCain is you wont have a painfull choice on election day vote for him or Hillary and you get the same thing more liberal policies and no real change. Why would they be able change the problems in Washington when they are the ones who made them in the first place. In order to fix something you have to first admit you screwed it up in the first place . Something none of the Senators running has done.

At least Romney has admitted he was wrong on pro-choice and changed his mind and acted on it as Gov when he vetoed funding for stem cell research. He also tuned the states 3 billion dollar deficit into a 2 billion dollar rainy day fund by the time he left office. His experience in the Olympics and corparate sucess will allow him to understand the dynamics and forcefully negotiate trade with China. He has an MBA from Harvard for Petes sake. Would you like ot have ancient McCANE or the joke in the box Huckabee negotiating for you.

Mitt Romney has demonstrated time and time again as Gov how promote his ideas and to work with Democrats and produce profound positive change in his state in a united effort. That is exactly what we need in DC.

Can’t vote for McCain. CARL, I LOVE YOUR REPORTS. Keep up the good work. You should talk about your blog more so everyone knows about it.

Does anyone one here realize that Mitt served his term as governor of Mass. for free??? That’s right..he didn’t take one dime!!! He has also stated that he would not accept pay if he were to win the presidential bid..he just wants to serve his country and help folks out as much as possible. Do any of the other candidates do that?? What about Billary?? They have money, Bill still gets money from being a 2 term president plus security until the day he dies..will Hillary serve for free…NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Did you know Governor Schwartzeneger of California also does not accept any pay for being governor?? He is doing a fine job…because he wants to help.. and he is only a naturalized citizen (not native born). Maybe we should stop paying people to be president..only allow them a place to live, eat and make decisions..now, that would shake things up!! We might actually see some decent people run for the office. Hmmm…just a thought.

Campaign Carl,
Eough of your anti-Romney obvious bias. You look and sound more like Alan Colms evertime I see you speak. Your bias is blatant.

I believe that being on the campaign road has really effected the Fox News commentators this year. There is a real lean to Obama and Huckabee.

Bring the canditates on to Michigan and see what happens. McCain will loose.

Yeah McCain would be our Bob Dole. Plus in the debate he sorta forecasted that he would only be a one term president and in his words that would make him a lame duck president on day one. I think McCain, great war hero, would be a wasted vote and a bad strategic move for the GOP.

The best ticket would be a Romney/Petraeus ticket in November 2008

McCain said on Hannity & Combs that he would be bipartisan in picking his VP if he is the nominee. He has a good relationship with Ted Kennedy, Fiengold,Clinton, Finstein all of the most liberal Senators. Thats just one more reason I could never vote for him.

John McCain was a member of the Keating Five, five congressman involved in taking money for helping a convicted racketeer Charles Keating, McCain accepted donations of at least $112,000 and took several trips on Keatings private plane for intervening on Keating’s behalf. I can find no record of McCain returning that money.
Google Keating Five, get informed about the straight talker.

Carl, You’re the best in the biz. Huckabee won and he is the most affective communicator. But the hostility towards Huckabee is obvious with some of my favorite reporters on Fox. I hope Huck can convince his own party that he is the best candidate. I like Mitt also but its just a little unfair.

In response to Nathan, who was wondering why Romney’s polls went down after Romney supposedly “won” the debate last night…. I watched the debate and cannot for the LIFE of me understand why everyone seems to think Romney won. As I watched him verbally batter the other candidates, interrupting them and shouting them down, the words that came to my mind were: Hostile… Ruthless… Mean-spirited… Rude… Will Stop at Nothing… and Scary.

I was especially offended when he accused Gov. Huckabee of “making facts up.” Wow! Calling him a liar, not five minutes into the event. Huckabee laughed it off. If I were in Huckabee’s place, I’d say, “Excuse me? Let’s talk about who really marched with Dr. Martin Luther King.” Romney repeatedly demanded that Huckabee “admit” to raising taxes in Arkansas. I wish Huckabee would have replied, “I’ll admit that (even though it rebuilt our roads and schools, which were in sorry shape after years of Clinton and Jim Guy Tucker, and even though our increase was court-ordered and mandated by a referendum), if you’ll admit that you raised ‘fees’ (read: taxes) in Massachusetts by the same amount or more.” Unfortunately Romney was so busy badgering the guy, Huckabee couldn’t get a word in edgewise, and isn’t the shouting type.

Romney seemed very proud that as a result of his raising so many fees, they supposedly built up a budget surplus of (I think it was) $1 Billion. But to me, all that says is that Romney helped the state of Massachusetts steal a billion dollars of people’s money that they didn’t really need. Doesn’t sound fiscally sound or conservative to me!

John McCain is the reason I recently became a Republican so I am able to vote for him in the primary in my home state of Florida. The most important quality he has, in my humble opinion, is integrity and his desire to selflessly serve his country. I may not agree with him on every issue, but I greatly respect him, and that is hard to say when it comes to politicians! He does not say what people want to hear to get elected; how honorable! Please research all the candidates on the issues and I think you will see that he is the most consistent in his voting record, and he is able to get things accomplished in Washington due to his willingness to “reach across the aisle”.

I became a Republican because of McCain. Go McCain go!

Years ago i liked McCain, but then I found out his views on illegals, do people really want the money they have paid in to social security go to the illegals who haven’t paid near as much or none at all. As far as health care, these illegals go to the hospitals who feel obligated to treat them, then they can’t pay, who do you think the bill is passes on to, US, the american (legal) people. We need somenone in there that is going to take care of the economy, health care, create jobs, take care of the people here (for a change), we need Mitt Romney, vote for Romney!!!!!

From my observation, except this column, most famous commentators on Foxnews TV are very biased AGAINST Huckabee. I had been wondering for a while why his own party hates him very much, until later I saw more of him and realized he’s not from the rich and educationally elite class. That’s why I think. Huckabee is just a very decent man, whether you like his religion or not.

Get better informed. Mitt’s press of Huck on tax issue comes from Huck’s own state. Its been in their papers and other that over his years as Governor he raised taxes. He then got completely flustered when press to tell the truth. Facts are facts. Mitt continually answers the one question in which McCain/Huck like to shout, flip-flop on one of his issues. Changing several years ago from pro-choice to pro-life. I say good for him, he learned the right side an changed. If you listen to McCain/Huck (are they a ticket after recent lovefest?), Mitt change that one issue just last year before running for President. Opps….sorry that was several years ago. Huck’s question is still on the table for which he change the issue on. Mitt has lowered taxes and even better in a state that has T. Kennedy and Kerry. And those McCainians……who like to say, ‘buying the election’. So if you go into business for yourself or run a business, your not suppose to make any money Mr. Stalin?? Or if you run for office you are not suppose to invest in yourself to win. Sorry John maybe if you were popular you’d be getting more money and not broke. If you look on delegate totals on CNN (sorry fox, did not see anywhere here with breakdowns) Mitt leads all others. Even if close second here and winning next Tues my state Michigan, he’ll still be ahead (you get delegates for 2nd for those that did not know). Then you go to SC where running on credit card Huck and Thompson (staking campaign there) slug it out. After that Rudy who leads FL, Cal and later on NY is setting there with his money. Simply fact both McCain and Rudy will be broke by then. Why did the ‘wink’ and team up on Mitt Saturday, because simply neither one can beat him, especially long haul. It will eventually come down to Mitt vs. Rudy. McCain is realized as Bob Dole 2. And Huck (although I think he’s likeable guy, but not fiscally conservative) in general election would be so demo-goded by media for baptist minister, I can hear them starting reporting ‘religious right’, that he probably in general our equivalent to DEMS Michael Dukais. Yikes. In the end, because to much threat of splitting party to an independent canidate because of 3 marriage baggage and pro-choice I don’t see Rudy getting it. Mitts at top 1-3 slots in pretty much all states. Thats because he is presidential when speaking calmly and has a message which reflects his record. IF>>>>>>>>>>>>big IF McCain gets nomination, as lifelong republican, I urge everyone vote independent or stay home. Of all the years his caused grief for the party he does not deserve the parties vote. Just look NH. Mitt leads him in Republicans. McCain is drawing NH big independent sector. He won’t be able to do that in other states.

Time to pick running mates Carl. What do they think they’re doing? Throw Change at them.

Did anyone esle notice that when McCain in the Sunday debate was saying that he had led his navy squad for patriotism not for profit that the ticker below him was saying that Romney had taken no salary for being govenor of Mass. Does anyone know if that is true. I am from AZ and am not familiar with the leaders in the NE, but if that is true it would mean something to me because I think McCain was trying to make a hit on Romney, But I am sure McCain accepted his Salary for leading his navy squad which I would consider A FORM OF (HA HA) profit.

Mitt Romney is our Man for the next 8 years if we truely wish for change IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. The ability to Lead, work both parties, lower taxes, friendly to business, you know, the peole that supply jobs to us Americans, can pick awesome advisors, and is smart, and best of all can COMMUNICATE clearly. GO MITT! checks in the mail…..

mmmmm…shannon,

what a comment! what sources can you provide that state the free service of romney and arnold. as for arnold and california you have got to be kidding. That is one state i am thankful i do not live in.

On another note, thompson or richardson does not have a chance. Maybe they should take advice from biden and his counterpart.

Its McCains Turn?? Its up to us, the voters, to decide not the RNC. Iam a life long Republican who will not be voting for John McCain if he is the Nominee.

Hello all…

Well, I have voted in 10 presidential elections so far (1968 to current) and everyone who I voted for WON! That’s 10 for 10. I think the reason for this is that I am about as “at the center of the American voting universe” as you can be. I’m just right of center, married, children, college, live in rural PA and watch the news all the time. I dearly love my country. My father was a WW2 hero. I have a 3X5 foot US flag on my office wall. My grandmother was a DAR member. I’m mad as hell at what Bush has done for 7 years and I am even madder at Congress for wasting our time and billions on wasteful spending and not trying to get along and get things done. I want a total shakeup of things. Throw the bums out! I’m not happy with our invasion of Iraq and want a reasonable pull-out. It’s my biggest problem with Mr. McCain. And he was my go to guy in 2000. I don’t know at this point who I will vote for. But it definitely will not be Hillary or Fred. Don’t know if that tells you anything at all. I’ll get back to you as time goes by as I see who might get my vote. My wife generally picks the same person as I do so I guess that counts as 2 votes. The Right is too right and the Left is too left. All of you have to try and come to the center a bit so we can get important things done for our country. We were once great and a model for the world. We’re slipping a bit. Let’s get it fixed…

Fox News is my go to place, both Internet and TV. Keep up the good work…

Regards, Jim

What is scarier about Ron Paul:

1. The fact that for decades, newsletters were published under his name, by his company (Ron Paul & Associates), spewing paranoid conspiracy theories, racism, and bigotry? or….

2. The fact that so many Ron Paul supporters either disavow that Paul wrote them, or express sympathy with Paul’s views?

Ron Paul has issued a short, terse reply in which he basically says that he was unaware of what was being printed by his company and published by his office….and that he should have been paying more attention.

–YA THINK??!?!

Carl,
You may be the one person at Fox that causes me to watch CNN or another station. At least with them I know I am getting liberal press…What is it that you have against Romney? He is leading the race overall, and yet you bash him time and time again. Thank heavens for Sean H ! He at least gives him a fair shot. Remember who your viewers are. Like the elephant our party stands for, we will never forget whose side you are on.
If you really like Huckabee so much, why don’t you become his campaign manager?

Is it McCain’s turn? This total, unadultered BS!! I hope the GOP does not make the same mistake as they did when it when they ran Bob Doyle against Bill Clinton.

McCain mkay have been right about the surge in Iraq but he is old, has very little energy and he was against Bush’s tax cuts and he is weak on immigration. How can Republican voters think McCain is better than Romney.

McCain has no executive experience and he has been a senator all his life. What is his big accomplishment? Campaign reform, what a joke!

Romney is a very successfull executive as he proved by being governor of Massachussets and then the Olympics in Utah, he has also been by far the best debater particularly while under attack by Huckabee and McCain, they like to gang up on him at the same time. If Republicans don’t like Romney because he is a mormom or because he is rich, and they go with John McCain they will loose the election just as they did with Dole against Clinton. Even Huckabee woul be better than McCain!

Just wondering… in the last 4 days I’ve written two posts which have not appeared in the Comments section. Nothing inappropriate or weird, just facts & opinions. In particular, I posted a careful response to “Steve,” who was in turn responding to my original post. I wrote the first one on Monday and the second one last night (Tues. Jan. 8).

Lynn,

Yeah i have had the same issue but i figured out that sometimes it is due to HTML. I found that sending the message twice has worked well for me plus wait a day and you should see the comment posted. it has nothing to do, as some think, with what fox likes in its blogs.

Huckabee 08′

John McCain is a phony, he says money is corupting Washington, which I agree. He talks about convicted lobbiest Jack Abrahof but he never mentions convicted racketeer Charles Keating. McCain was the only republican member of the Keating 5 that took money and favors from Charles Keating. McCain is part of the problem.

Though he was not convicted of anything, McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating after Keating gave McCain at least $112,00 in contributions. In the mid-1980s, McCain made at least 9 trips on Keating’s airplanes, and 3 of those were to Keating’s luxurious retreat in the Bahamas. McCain’s wife and father-in-law also were the largest investors (at $350,000) in a Keating shopping center; the Phoenix New Times called it a “sweetheart deal.”

Charles Keating was convicted of racketeering and fraud in both state and federal court after his Lincoln Savings & Loan collapsed, costing the taxpayers $3.4 billion.
Get informed on the straight talker. Do a web search on the Keating 5. He has been reaching out to democrats for a long time, he now says he will be nonpartisan in picking his VP if he gets the nomination.

I have no problem with John McCain becoming, officially, President of New Hampshire.
For America, ROMNEY IS THE ONE.
Please.

Carl, I think you’ve done a great job during primary season. I love reporters who brave the cold, push through the crowds, and get the story. Not sure how you drink that Red Bull crap though, its vile.

I want Mitt Romney to have a turn. Our economy is a national security issue.

Response from Lynn to “Steve” in Michigan (I’m trying this again)….

As you said: Better get informed. Among the MANY errors in your post, the most glaring was the part where you claimed that Romney was leading in delegates. On the day you posted your comments, the delegate totals were as follows, according to the AP:

31 Huckabee
19 Romney
34rd place was McCain

As far as Romney “buying” the election…The problem is not that he is wealthy (although he got that way by purchasing companies and then laying off all the workers — do a Google search on that). The problem is that even while throwing MILLIONS of dollars of his own money at voters, he still can’t get them to like him or trust him.

BTW, why doesn’t Mr. Romney want to share with us exactly how much of his own fortune he’s spent on his campaign? You were talking about candidates being bankrupt. But Romney’s had to inject (literally) untold amounts of his own money into his campaign. But he refuses to disclose how much he’s “invested” or “loaned” to his campaign.

Romney claims that he “lowered” taxes, but in fact, he raised the FEES in massachusetts by a huge amount…some newspaper accounts put the figure at $700 million. Romney himself boasts that when he left office, he says the state had a surplus of $1 billion. To me, that just means that under his leadership, the state of Massachusetts helped itself to a billion dollars of its citizens’ hard-earned money. Doesn’t sound like a fiscal conservative to me.

Romney claims that he is now pro-life, but the judges he appointed in Massachusetts are all pro-abortion, liberal judges. What kind of Supreme Court justices do you think he will nominate??

Also….on a purely grammatical level…May I suggest that you get a little more sleep before posting comments that are so incoherent, missing words, incomplete sentences, etc. It doesn’t lend credibility to your opinion when your post is so difficult to read.

It’s Huckabee’s turn. He had to clean up the mess that the Clintons and their cronies left in Arkansas. He did a great job and left the state in MUCH better shape than he found it. And now, when he had to spend money to bring the state out of the Stone Age, everyone labels him a tax-and-spender.

Wondering again…. In the last 3 days have written two more posts…which have not appeared on this comments page. Like the previous two posts which did not appear, the comments were reasoned, not overly long, and not “rants,” but instead featured facts and links.

I don’t suppose it’s because my posts were critical of Romney, do you? For someone who’s down in the polls nationwide, there DO seem to be a lot of pro-Romney posts that somehow made it here. From a long-time Fox News fan, I’m disappointed.

Things that make ya go “Hmmmm….”

Thank you!!
